10.06.14 // Don't have to go all the way to Asia for cute latte art! Happy to discover this hidden gem tucked inside a medical building. Not only was the latte art nice, the coffee was great too! Very strong, aromatic espresso, unlike the 50% foam, hot milky lattes at commercial coffee chains. In fact, it wasn't overly milky and had no foam so it was more like a flat white. Bf got the hazelnut cappucino which was again very strong flavored and sweet.

Also got the pasta lunch - penne bolognese, prepared to order. Can definitely taste that it's made in-house. The pesto cream was tasty as well.

Total was about $12-$15 per person.. kind of pricey for a lunch but worth to try the cute & quality coffee.

A compilation of what I ate in London. (In addition to Hawksmoor, Borough Market & Aquashard)

1. Vietnamese spring rolls & pho at Mien Tay in Pho Mile, Shoreditch area


2. Hot Salt Beef - Brick Lane Market
   


3. £10 steak at Flatiron.  Lovely juicy, tender shoulder cut with nice beef flavor and a cute little cleaver.


4. My fav coffee chain - Pret! Great salmon sandwich. Love the Americanos. (Also missing the Flat White from Costa Coffee.. )


5. Happy moment - found Stella Apple & Pear Cider at a local convience store


6. Sourdough pizza with anchovies, tomato, garlic, oregano, capers, olives, mozzerella - omg jam packed with salty anchovies goodness! at Franco Manca


7. Fish & Chips - flaky, meaty goodness. The mushy peas were great as well!


8. Fresh  juices from M&S to make up for lack of fruit & veg
   


9. The best ham & cheese crepe ever! at Creperie Angelie, Bicester Village
   


10. Amorino gelato
    


11. Udon at Koya, in Soho


12. Cottage pie ~ must squeeze in a second pub meal on our last night

London is another foodie heaven! Such a variety of diverse and multicultural foods for every budget. I ate fries (chips) every day and they were all delicious!! (So chunky and soft!) Too bad we didn't have time for a sit down Indian meal so settled with take-out butter chicken. We also had afternoon tea, but it didn't taste that great, mainly a nice photo opp.
